    Finally got in the studio to lay down this track. After I made the instrumental I was sitting on it for quite some time before I could finally find the words to truly complete the song and express how I felt. Let me know what you guys think! I've been a member of this forum for several years now and I really feel like I resonate with you guys. Hopefully you like it!

    Cool story. The guy that works at the studio I recorded the song at also DJ's at a local radio station. He heard the song and thought it was dope. He's gonna play it during his set next Thursday morning! Pretty stoked to cross that one off my bucket list.

    UPDATE: I'm just going to add anything new I upload to this thread. Check below for a throwback to summer 2013!

  9. Hey Third Eye, I was curious what strain you had when you posted in 2011 about yellowing leaves? I have a plant that has the exact same leaf structure and have been trying to figure out what it is.
     
  10. I like the beat, and your flow is a lot better than 90% of what's posted here, but the vocals don't pop. Part of that is your cadence, which can be monotone at points, and part of it is your delivery...it sounds like you're rapping in front of a computer, not in front of a crowd.
     
    I would recommend putting more energy into your delivery, and putting some thought into how you record your verses. Layering the main vocal take, and doing additional takes for emphasis on certain rhymes and phrases, could dramatically impact the "force" of your vocals for the listener.
     
    Some of those backing tracks can be 10dB lower than the main track, barely perceptible on their own, but in the mix it makes all the difference in terms of how your vocals pop. You can even season some of those backing tracks with some light reverb to make them pop even more.
     
    Check out the way artists like Atmosphere, Xzibit, and Planetary (of Outer Space) lay down their vocals for good examples of what I'm talking about.
